Description

This property enables PDF/A support.

Values: 0=off or 1=enabled

PDF/A is a new norm which based on PDF 1.4 - it was created to provide a guildline for the creation of document files which stay readable for the time to come. So the major demand for PDF/A complient files is that the used font files are embedded. Security measures are forbidden in PDF/A complient files as are links to external files. But there is more to PDF/A. We have checked the component carefully against the final documentation of PDF/A.

When you use TextDynamic additional (invisible) tags will be added to the PDF data. This tags make it possible to identify layout elements (such as header or footer texts) on a page. They can be also used by a PDF reader to convert the PDF data into text paragraphs, something which is otherwise at least difficult and impossible if a paragraph spans a page. The wPDF engine will also create tags to mark table cells. wPDF3 will also add the document information as XMP data to the PDF file.
